Abstract

See full text

The present invention is capable of more smoothly changing a phase of a cam shaft in a rotation direction. A variable valve mechanism changes an opening/closing timing of an intake valve or an exhaust valve in response to an engine rotation speed. The variable valve mechanism includes: a cam sprocket which rotates in response to a rotation of a crank shaft; an intake cam shaft which is integrated with an intake cam and is provided to be rotatable relatively to the cam sprocket; and a link member that transmits a rotation from the cam sprocket to the intake cam shaft. The link member is supported by the cam sprocket to be swingable and swings in response to a change in rotation speed of the cam sprocket to rotate the intake cam shaft relatively to the cam sprocket.
